/”We’ve trained these birds to fly with us next to our paraglider so that people can have the experience of flying with a bird,” says the owner of Fly With a Bird, which operates at Torrey Pines State Reserve in San Diego.
It’s a sport called parahawking, an epic excursion that involves tandem paragliding with a well-trained raptor tagging along. It’s also a memorable way to get a bird’s-eye view of San Diego’s gorgeous coastal cliffs.
“I think people that live in an urban environment don’t get that connection to nature very often,” he says. “It’s very difficult to get that connection with a bird of prey because they’re very elusive.”
San Diego is known for having some of the most epic and consistent flying conditions on the planet.
